Japonica’s patent-pending structure is an entrepreneurial
solution to the conundrum faced by pioneering portfolio managers
in identifying top quartile investment managers and linking pay

“Success
in the marketplace is indicia of non-obviousness,” commented
George Chaclas, an intellectual property attorney with Boston-based
Edwards Angell Palmer & Dodge LLP. “The patent office
will consider commercial success during its examination.”
